I hope someone (Roy) will correct me if I'm wrong! It's a beautiful car.

Actually NONE of them were delivered from the Factory this way. The Factory DID produce the JOTA kit, but then the car was sent down the road a few miles from the factory and a outside vendor installed the kit and it went on from there..
Approx 31 kits were produced with 28 of them sold. Recently the last 3 know to exsist were sold via a very sharp friend of mine in Italy, 2 of the kits came to the USA, I am not sure were the other one went.
Currently it is thought approx 18 cars have the kits installed while the rest of the kits are still in crates with various owners.
The Factory has agreed to produced 5 more kits if we can get the orders together, cost is approx 70K and will take 4-5 months to produce. Currently there is order for two kits, we need three more..Emilo is putting this together no me, so he deserves all the credit!!
I also know that the two delivered to the USA are currently being fitted n two other Purple SE30 as we speak and are to be completed by August in time for concourso in Monterrey.
